KILLED HIS WIFE.
STRANGE TRAGEDY IN PARIS. SEQUEL TO DOMESTIC QUARREL. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Feb. 4, 5.5 p.m. Paris, Feb. 3. A strange domestic tragedy is reported. Jean Estenave, a respectable man, who has been married for 18 years, walked into a police-station ‘and said: “I have strangled my wife.” Inquiries show that all went well for' 16 years, until the wife received an anonymous letter stating that her husband was false to her. She threatened to kill him, and many disputes followed. In December the wife received a second letter, by which the domestic trouble was intensified. The wife would not allow her husband to sleep, scratching his face to keep him awake and make him answer questions. When a third anonymous letter was received on v Wednesday, the wife said she would avenge herself with vitriol. In a sudden impulse of fear and anger, the husband seized her by the throat and strangled her. He then dressed himself in his best clothes and went to the police.
